On Sunday evening a dense column Of
smoke rising from behind the range Of
hills east Of town attracted the attention
of our people. 1t was soon found to pro-
coed from the burning home Of VIM.
Hoover, about a mile from town. The
house, large two-story log structure,
belonged to DR.. Jos. S. Irwin, but has
been occupied by Mr.. Hoover for a num-
Der of years. Every member Of the fam
liz was away at the time the fire broke
out, and the wing consisting of small
kitchen was almost destroyed when first
seen. Mr.. Hoover lost all his house prop
erty but bed, sewing machine and one
table, and the family lost all their cloth
ing except what they had on at the time
He is a worthy, hard working man, and a
subscription is being taken mp for bis
benefit. The loss is about $500 on which
there was no insurance.

On Saturday Of last week the north
bound mail and passenger train which is
due here at 1l.j9, a. M, jumped the track
near Timberyille about twenty-five miles
south of this place. The tender, express,
postal and baggage cars were thrown from
the track, as well as the front trucks OF
the smoker The other cars, ladies coach
and palace car and engine remained on
the track. 1t is supposed that the acct
dent was caused by the breaking down OF
one Of the trucks under the tender, as the
marks on the ties showed that wheel
had been running Oh them for consider
able distance. The tender leaving the
track broke the airbrake connection and
made 1t impossible for the engineer to
stop within the usual distance. The es-
cape from serious disaster was very
narrow one, as the tender and probably
several cars were off the track when they
crossed the bridge, assevery tie was swept
away leaving nothing but the stringers to
support the rails upon which the last two
cars stood. The passengers in the smoker
Jumped from the windows and all es-
capped unhurt excepting Mr.. NJ. Shack
man, the well-knOwn Baltimore drummer
who was cut. but not seriously, by the
broken glass through which he made his
exit from the car. Wrecking trains were
sent from Sandy Hook and Harrisonburt
and the cars put on and damages repaired
so that the train was once more in motor
after delay of six or seven hours. 1t II
thought that nothing but the cool courage
and quick Judgment of Mr.. Frank Bro
sious, the engineer, prevented a serious
loss of life He is regarded as one Of tn
best engineers on the road, and has beef
instrumental in saving the lives an
limbs Of passengers in several prevlou
accidents. He never leaves his engln
until he brings everything to stop.

A match game of base ball was played
IN this place on Saturday afternoon, be-
tween scrub nine of Woodstock and
about the same kind of nine from Toms
Brook. The Brook boys brought with
them pitcher and catcher from Winches-
ter, both of whom played very well. The
game was commenced so late that the um-
pire called it at the end of the fifth inning,
when the runs stood, Woodstock 80, Toms
Brook IA. A return game will probably
be played at Toms Brook in a week or
two. J. b. Kronk & Co.'s celebrated cigar
factory was well represented in the Brook
nine, but the boys could not roll the ball
half as well as they roll cigars, but they
are a jolly set for all that. The ladies'
thought they were the handsomest set OF
lads that ever played here, especially Her
bert. who they thought was just too sweet
for anything, not knowing that he was
already married.

We noticed in a late issue of the New
York Spirit Of the Times, the great sport
ing paper of this country that Miss Myrtle
Peek rode a standing race Of one mile at
Island Park, Albany, N. Y, in the extraor-
binary time of 1906, beating all previous
records. This is certainly wonderful
performance, and must be seen to be APP
preeiated. A great many people have no
idea Of how fast this is as we rarely see
such time made on our country tracks
even with the best jockeys riding, but
when we think of a woman standing up on
two horses that are rushing around the
wide, level track with the speed of a
swiftly flying railroad train it almost
staggers belief Miss Peek is certainly a
most wonderful rider as well as q singular
ly daring young lady.
